Authorization of military force (AUMF) is the buzzword of the week and people are opining all over the place about what President Obama means to do with it. There is of course the obvious fight with ISIS but there is no reason the President can’t make his case before Congress to authorize the next war he craves.
Observers wonder why Mitch McConnell offers President Obama so much more power but that is exactly the point. McConnell and other Republicans have been handing over their powers to Obama like frighted children returning stolen candy.
Why should they stop Obama from further adventures with ISIS? Now that the President has armed ISIS with our weapons, maybe he thinks a ground war is fair now. We can’t have evil white America crushing jihadists in Toyota trucks with 60 year old AK-47s. They needed armored Humvees and .50 caliber rifles.
Once AM General and Browning have Obama’s favorite “moderates” armed, we are allowed to send in U.S. Troops to face the pitched battled for the sake of Obama’s legacy.
That’s why he wants his AUMF. He gets to take cover in the fact that Republicans authorized it, then he gets to act tough again and try to get it right this time, and finally he gets to punish the American military he has always loathed by making some of them die to polish his last days in office.
American warriors will sacrifice greatly against Obama-armed jihadists to build an Obama legacy.
And Mitch McConnell’s milquetoast brigade is handing it to him without a word.
Does anyone wonder why Donald Trump is leading against the establishment?
See the next page for details of the AUMF’s political ramifications.
I blame this all on Congress, for letting him get away with too much
THAT’S IS HOW YOU START A WAR. ……..!!! IDIOT. ….!!!
We The People may have to rise….
Go to RURdy4It and you will see a video that will show you just how baseless and stupid this man is. There is also a video that explains in detail what has to happen in order martial law is declared and what ” martial laws” actual powers hold.
lol martial law! NOPE. DEFY!
Never happen
not going to happen
B******t they have no right this is just another power grab they all deserves to be fired
Why do Congressmen talk about what they should do instead of just doing it. We advertise like someone has to buy in before action is taken. If you let Obumo abuse or change the Constitution, Americans pay the price. He shoul be out of office now, before anymore damage occurs. That will take guts. Oh well, it was an idea.
Dave is it possible that you had reversed the order of the words is and$#%&!@*???
